Hi Ted,

In my case, there is a 6 Node HBase cluster setup (running on Oracle BDA).
Each node has plenty of RAM (64GB) and CPU cores. Several articles seem to suggest that it is not a good idea to allocate too much RAM to region server's heap setting.

If each region server has 10GB heap and there is only one region server per node, then I have 10x6=60GB for the whole HBase. This setting is good for ~100M rows but starts to incur lots of GC activities on region servers when loading billions of rows.

Basically, I need a configuration that can fully utilize the free RAM on each node for HBase.

Thanks,
Jane

Can you briefly describe the use case where multiple region servers are
needed on the same host ?

Its certainly possible (atleast with command line) but probably very
messy. You will need to have different ports, different log files,
different pid files, possibly even different configs on the same machine.

Subject: multiple region servers at one machine


Hi there,

Is it possible to run multiple region servers at one machine/node? If
this is possible, how to start multiple region servers with command
lines or cloudera manager?

Thanks,
Jane
